AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Jim Richards has done it all: dived for diamonds in the piranha-infested rivers of South America; discovered a fabulously rich goldmine in the Australian outback; got caught up in the world's biggest mining scam in Indonesia; and even started a gold rush in the war-torn jungles of Laos. Today he's one of the mining industry's leading executives. This is his story.' (Publication summary)
